Domaine Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 2023 is an exceptional Pinot Noir red wine from one of Burgundy’s most revered family estates, based in Vosne-Romanée. This 750ml bottling comes from 2.5 hectares of vineyards in Villars-Fontaine, at 350m elevation on limestone-clay soils, delivering pure, terroir-driven character.
Crafted under Sébastien Cathiard’s meticulous low-intervention philosophy—hand-harvested, fully destemmed, fermented with native yeasts, and aged 18 months in 20–25% new French oak—it balances freshness and structure. Bright ruby in color, the nose opens with wild strawberry, red cherry, crushed violet, earthy forest floor, and distinct chalky minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, silky-textured, with racy acidity, fine-grained tannins, saline freshness, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
Critically acclaimed, the 2023 vintage scores 88–90 points from Neal Martin (Vinous), noted for its greater minerality than standard Bourgogne Rouge. Limited production makes it a sought-after introduction to Cathiard’s iconic style.
